Anyone have any? Where you get them, what type? Any good pics of them?
 
I run the Top Gun Custom ladder bars. Well built, boxed style ladder bar, not like the straight round stock. Bolt on bracket to axle tube. Holds well, carrier bearing still the issue on hoping and binding. My 08 solid 1 piece with bars, 100% solid. My 10 with bars amd carrier still sucks with a dual disk clutch backing and slow take off. Drop the hammer and it feels solid and melts the tires.
 
I made my own, used greasable johnny joints and 2" tubing and welded threaded bungs inside them. Bought the brackets online from an offroad shop and welded them on. Made the mistake of using non-greasable heim joints the first time around on my 6.0.. noisy P's O S. Parts cost me just over $400. 5k lb trailer with T250 on it barely squats my truck on a 5th wheel, its leveled (the GMC).
 
I like my cpp bars on my 3rd gen. I'm not sure if jamie has them for the 4th gens yet.
 
They use a large set of heims. The only thing I would like differently is greaseable heims to keep the grime out of them.
 
I run Flight Fabrications single tube bars ill post up some pictures in here a little bit.

These are the bars I built for my 2013 CCSB. All bolt on, was quick and easy to install. Need to get some better pictures now that the truck is washed!!!

I had One Up Offroad on my last truck and loved them and will be buying some for my current truck eventually.

Here is a little better picture with the truck cleaned up now that we don't have feet of snow on the ground.

Those Flight fab bars are nice... I hear a lot of people like the CPP bars as well. I'm gonna get some soon but I'm wondering if they are the same with my 2wd 08 as a 4wd.
 
I like my cpp bars. I just gotta adjust them out a hair, feel like I hear a clunk or something once in awhile. Easy work though and you can't beat the price for the quality you get... And customer service, I can't stress that enough
